Successful completion of apprenticeship

Dear Business Partner

We are proud to share last week's news with you. This summer, three of our apprentices will complete their training as polymechanics / production mechanics. All of them have passed with flying colours and we are delighted that all three will stay with BSF Bünter AG after their apprenticeship and continue to work for us. our team will increase.

Congratulations!

Trainer BSF Bünter AG - Fabian Graber / Dino Tiric

In addition, three new apprentices will start their training with us in August. Here's to them helping the industry out of the skills shortage in a few years' time.

New Swissmechanic Section President Kurt Graber

Dear Business Partner

Last Friday, the Swissmechanic St. Gallen - Appenzell section elected a new president. Kurt Graber, owner and Managing Director of BSF Bünter AG, accepted the office and will therefore be even more involved in the training of young people in future. Because only if everyone makes their contribution can we achieve something together against the shortage of skilled labour in the industrial sector.

 

From 14 - 17 May 2019, we will once again be at the Swisstech / Prodex in Basel. The largest supplier trade fair in Switzerland promises to attract many visitors again in 2019.
At the joint stand for additive manufacturing (EH 1.0 / P15), we want to show as many people as possible the new possibilities offered by 3D printing.
Come along and be inspired!

Pictures say more than a thousand words

Dear Business Partner

A picture is worth a thousand words, and a video even more so.
As our last newsletter required a lot of imagination for wire erosion with a rotary axis, we quickly made an underwater video and uploaded it to our homepage.

Click here for the underwater video!

But you can still get to know each other even better live than in front of the computer.
There will be another opportunity for this on 12 & 13 March 2019 in Lucerne.

AMX (Additive Manufacturing Expo) is the meeting place for everything to do with 3D printing in Switzerland. From metal to plastic, from service providers to machine manufacturers, from beginners to professionals, all levels will be present.
Of course, BSF Bünter AG will also be there. At stand D2137 you can innovative practical examples with customers such as Jansen, Biontec or FemtoTools and answer specific questions.

Innovative combination: rotary axis & wire erosion

Dear Business Partner

While the last orders before Christmas are still being processed in our production department, we have once again invested in an exciting innovation. In our brand new wire erosion machine includes a rotary axis. This allows us to machine your parts from several sides in a single clamping operation and thus achieve even more precise tolerances. It is also possible to rotate the component and virtually turn or cylindrically grind it on the eroding machine. The minimum wire diameter is just 0.05 mm, which is thinner than a human hair.

Would you have thought that we could completely wire-cut the bolt from this drawing?

 

 

 

The entire BSF team wishes you a relaxing time and a happy new year. We will be back in action for you from 2 January 2019.

Laser labelling and industrialisation

7Dear business partners

Every trade journal currently states that digitalisation should lead to greater efficiency and business success. BSF Bünter AG has come one step closer to this basic idea with a concrete practical example. Because we have replaced our dusty engraving systems with a state-of-the-art laser engraving machine replaced. This means that texts in any font, arrows, scales, customer logos and other markings can now be applied very easily, quickly and to the desired depth in high quality. Whether a few tenths of a depth or just a colour change on the surface, whether on round or cubic parts, whether aluminium or steel: BSF Bünter AG will be happy to do this for you "in-house" and in keeping with the digital age.

 

From 11 - 14 December 2018, the production and supplier trade fair called Industrialis will take place. We will be represented with a stand and look forward to finding out with you whether the new
trade fair can establish itself as an alternative to Prodex/Swisstech when it is held for the first time.

Structures catalogue

Dear Business Partner

Additive manufacturing can be used to produce very light yet stable parts. This is now common knowledge. But redesigning is not only worthwhile for lightweight applications: The more unnecessary material can be saved, the faster the component is melted and the more favourable the unit price. Unfortunately, design changes are very time-consuming without routine and suitable software. Benefit from the partnership between BSF Bünter AG and BioStruct GmbH. Simply send 3D data with the desired structure code from the images above (e.g. 2B), wait for an offer and utilise the full potential of additive manufacturing at the best price!

 

Sincerely
Kurt and Fabian Graber & the entire BSF team

CTI project: "OptiCool"

Dear Business Partner

BSF Bünter AG will be presenting a world first at the AM Expo in Lucerne on 6 & 7 March 2018.

We were able to develop innovative software with the NTB Buchs University of Applied Sciences as part of a CTI project. "OptiCool" can analyse so-called conformal cooling automatically within a very short time. What used to take an experienced designer 8 hours is now possible for us in under 1 hour. In addition to the design, the cooling system is also simulated and optimised. This enables even shorter cycle times and even less distortion. (More info in addition can be found here).

In a nutshell: The costs for additive cooling in injection moulding or aluminium casting tools are falling, while the benefits for the customer are actually increasing.

Come by our stand D2137 next week for more information. Fabian Graber will also be giving a presentation on the new product at the trade fair's Innovation Forum. According to plan, you can be there at exactly 10:42 a.m. on 6 March. here their free of charge Admission. We look forward to seeing you!

New technology: Cylindrical grinding

Dear Business Partner

Everything from a single source. This is what we are known for and what we want to offer our customers. With this in mind, we would like to inform you that from 1 February 2018, we will also be offering Cylindrical grinding is one of our services. In addition, with the Superfinish technology surfaces of up to Ra 0.05 can be achieved. Bruno Sieber Präzisionsschleiferei from Widnau will be fully integrated into BSF Bünter AG with all its machines. We wish Bruno a good new start after the move to our building and continued pleasure in his work. For his existing customers, we will ensure that the co-operation continues to be as uncomplicated, fast and precise as before.

Another change affects our sales department. Thomas Oehy started working for us in January 2018. He will strengthen our office department and will be your contact person for quotations and technical queries in the future. We wish him all the best for this new challenge at BSF Bünter AG.

By the way: The Swiss trade fair for additive manufacturing will take place in Lucerne on 6 - 7 March 2018. Get your free admission here!
